Re: What did you do to your truck today!

got all the parts i ordered from autozone to do the rear brakes on my longhorn c20.

Realized the whell cylinders were wrong, so went back to autozone and they started passing the buck blaming everbody and their grandma for the wrong parts.
Settled for a refund on the wheel cylinders from autozone, went to napa and picked up the "right" ones.
set down to do the brakes and realized autozone gave me the wrong size brake shoes. They gave me the 12' instead of the 11 2 and 3/4 i ordered. After driving there and haggling for a refund, i went to napa and got the "right" ones.
You think i would now better than to deal with autozone, but i thought i'd save a few "bucks" instead ended up wasting 4 complete days!
should have went to napa in the first place.
now daylight is gone and have to wait for tomorrow to start. All this after i waited 4 days for autozone to "order" the parts from their warehouse. then to realize they were wrong parts, wheel cylinders and brake shoes. (they did get the brake hardware right though)
never again with autozone.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Well my Wife did about 99% of this to my Truck today, but I figure since we've been Married 20 years, it would be permissible for this Thread.

I've installed the Leather Seats in my Truck, but with the Gas Tank still there, when the Console is folded down you STILL see it.

My Wife says to me,
"Hey you need a Pillow between your Seats to hide the Gas Tank".

Then it hits me, that I've got (2) 12" Embroidered Rat Fink patches, I bought from Ed Roth's Wife about 6 years ago. They've been tucked away, so I asked my Wife if she could sew the Patch on to a Pillow?

Viola' there you have it, and since the "Theme" of my Truck is going to be the Rat Fink, (license plate "RATIKLE"), it was a no brainer!!!
